gan. of Hoboken, just before bis departure

A very beautiful ceremony was witnessed
in st. Mary's Church last Sunday evening.
1t was the occasion of the reception of new
members into the Holy Name Society.
The reception took place during yespers,
and after an address of about half an hour
by Ri. Rev. Bishop Wigger. The Bishop
took occasion to express his great satisfac-
ton at seeing so large an accession to the
membership of the Society of the Holy
Name, as it gave evidence of the increased
devotion towards the sacred name of Our
Lord, and a consequent decrease of the
horrid and unfortunately, but too common,
crime of blasphemy. He was particularly
pleased to see men join such societies, as
he knew that men enter into such associa-
tioas with more determination than women,
and in fact it was more necessary for men
to become members of such associations
than for women. At the conclusion of his
address the Bishop received Ito new mem
bers into the society, which now numbers
over 400. ALI the members
were seated during the services in the mid
die aisle of the church, and they sang in
chorus the "Magnifcat" and the hymns
''Veni Creator" and 'Tantum Ergo"
